Good day to all! I want to devote my debut article on habr to a very interesting topic - the RIPE Atlas Internet quality control system. Part of my field of interest is the study of the Internet or cyberspace (the term is rapidly gaining popularity, especially in scientific circles). There are plenty of materials on RIPE Atlas on the Internet, including on habr, but they […]

Researchers from the SAND Laboratory at the University of Chicago developed the Fawkes toolkit to implement a method for distorting photographs, preventing them from being used to train facial recognition and user identification systems. Pixel changes are made to the image, which are invisible when viewed by humans, but lead to the formation of incorrect models when used to train machine learning systems. The toolkit code is written in Python […]
This article opens a series of articles on automated ways to tune PID controllers in the Simulink environment. Today we will figure out how to work with the PID Tuner application. Introduction PID controllers can be considered as the most popular type of regulators used in industry in control systems of closed systems. And if engineers remember the structure and principle of operation of the controller from their student days, then its setting, i.e. calculation […]
